ARTWORK PREPARATION TIPS

Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up.
It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
All type must be outlined (not embedded).
No linked images.
If file contains a dieline, it must be a separate spot colour called Dieline and be on its own layer.
The dieline shape must be a single path stroked.
Please provide vector only artwork for type, logos, shapes and all other artwork. Only provide embedded raster artwork for actual 4/C images.
Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
The trim size of the Illustrator file must match the final trim size of the label. Use bleed settings in Illustrator of 0.0625 inches minimum each way.
If you select a White Ink option with your order, please supply a single file that includes CMYK (if necessary) and a spot colour called exactly White_Ink. Do not supply separate files for CMYK and White Ink. If you want white ink to print under a blue colour, you need to set either the blue shape or the White_Ink shape to overprint to achieve this. You may also want to set a White_Ink shape to knockout so nothing prints on top of it. Remember to set overprints on any Dieline.
File should be CMYK only (no RGB) with a Dieline and/or White_Ink spot colour depending on your order specifications.
If you select Black Only option on your order, the file you supply should be K only (not CMYK or RGB) with a Dieline and/or White_Ink spot colours depending on your order specifications.

Spot UV Postcards with Matte Lamination

These are our premium postcard: 16pt C2S stock finished with a silky matte lamination, then overprinted with a slightly raised clear UV gloss on the areas you choose. The result carries two textures on one card, so the piece is noticed by touch as well as by sight.

The matte lamination does two jobs. It gives the card a soft, expensive feel and protects it through the postal system, and it provides the flat background contrast that makes the raised gloss visible in the first place. Against a glossy card, spot UV largely disappears.

It works best applied to a logo, a headline or a defined graphic shape rather than across a photograph. Common uses are luxury property mailers, salon and spa promotions, restaurant openings, wedding and event invitations, and any campaign where the piece has to feel more expensive than the competition. Supply your spot gloss areas as a separate vector layer in 100 percent black.

You will find related items in Postcards (part of our wider print products selection), and Enviro Postcards covers a similar job with a different build. It is worth reviewing shipping options before you order. Writable + UV Postcards is another option in the same range.

Premium Thick Postcards

Our 16pt C2S stock is covered in matte lamination for 18pt cards. The result is professional and luxurious.

Clear Spot Gloss

By supplying a spot UV file, you indicate where you would like us to add the glossy UV. This creates beautiful results that make the design pop.

Making Print Tactile

Run your fingers over the raised spot UV on soft, smooth lamination to see how print can offer a memorable tactile experience.
